Multidimensionality of Children's Foundational Skills: An IRT-Based Validation of the NEPSY Factorial Structure
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Alvin Vista; Helyn Kim – Educational and Developmental Psychologist, 2025
Objective: Measurement tools for children's foundational skills provide important insights towards the developmental mechanisms of these domains. This study examines the structure of sensorimotor, visuospatial processing (VP), executive function (EF) skills and their interrelationship. The NEPSY is a widely-used neuropsychological instrument, but…

An Examination of Three Tests of Visual-Motor Integration.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Aylward, Elizabeth H.; Schmidt, Steven – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1986
Kindergarten children (N=103) were administered three tests of visual-motor integration: Bender Gestalt Test, Beery Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration and Geometric Design subtest of the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. Issues discussed include interscorer reliabilities, correlations among scores, correlations…

Further Validation of the Qualitative Scoring System for the Modified Bender-Gestalt Test.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brannigan, Gary G.; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1995
Compares the Qualitative Scoring System and the Developmental Scoring Systems, both Bender-Gestalt tests, in predicting achievement on the Metropolitan Achievement Test (MAT). In this study, first through fourth graders (n=409) from regular elementary schools were subjected to both tests; both systems correlated significantly with school…

Factor Structure of the McCarthy Screening Test.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Blixt, Sonja; Kitson, Donald L. – Psychology in the Schools, 1982
Investigated the factor structure of the McCarthy Screening Test with a sample of 555 children. Data were analyzed by a principal components analysis followed by a varimax rotation. Results indicated that the subtests all measure parts of the same attribute (cognitive and sensorimotor functions) in varying degrees. (Author/RC)

Factor Structure Evidence for Developmental Levels of Perceptual Processing on the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Polubinski, Joseph; And Others – Psychology in the Schools, 1986
Beery's Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration was individually administered to 193 school-age children. Four factors were obtained, indicating that the test does not measure a unitary dimension of perceptual-motor development, but rather four distinct levels or stages for the age range of children investigated.
